OSHAWA -- Today’s #WBWDurham is a flashback to 22 years ago, April 1992. The Arreugui family of Whitby was proud to be Canadian. The family, originally from Peru, was sworn in as Canadian citizens. Family members are, in back from left, Mariella and Eduardo; in front from left, Mauro and Giade. Missing from the picture is infant son Diego. Are you still here in Durham, Arreuguis family? Do you know this family? Let’s try to reconnect.

Metroland Media Group’s Durham Region Division has launched its Way back Wednesday project. Every Wednesday, we publish a photo from our archives. We choose a historic photo that corresponds with the current date. Our goal is to reconnect the people of Durham Region. Through social media you can enjoy a blast of the past and share an old story or laugh. Simply check out our website durhamregion.com, Facebook page at www.facebook.com/newsdurham, or Tweet us at @newsdurham and use the hashtag #WBWDurham. Let us know if it’s you in the photograph. Do you know these individuals? Where did they end up? What’s their story? Are they still here in Durham Region? Where are they now?

The photos will be posted on our social media pages. Readers can tag the people in the photos, relive memories, share stories and use our hashtag #WBWDurham. If we can find the people, our goal is to recreate the photo. Let’s start re-connecting and establishing new and old connections with the people in our community.
